12 Collector Street Mitigation Program PHASE II: Temporary Installation Staff develops temporary traffic mitigation plan If plan is approved - City installs temporary plan Traffic patterns are studied

13 Collector Street Mitigation Program PHASE III: Permanent Installation Staff reviews results of temporary plan with residents Residents are petitioned for permanent installation City installs permanent structure

14 Collector Street Mitigation Program Case Study: Coral Gables and Indian Hills Collector-Local 3-way intersection

15 Temporary Installation Coral Gables and Indian Hills Traffic Studies: Volume before: 4,034 vpd after: 3,954 vpd 2% Speed (posted 30mph) before: 36 mph after: 36 mph

16 Outcome Temporary Installation Neighborhood upset about circle and complained to traffic committee Residents within 100% zone received bulk of complaints Key petition signatures redacted and circle was R E M O V E D

17 Collector Street Mitigation Program Case Study: Maryland Ave and 3 rd Street Collector-Local 4-way intersection

18 Traffic Studies: Volume Temporary Installation Maryland Ave and 3 rd Street before: 5,398 vpd after: 5,313 vpd 2% Speed (posted 35 mph) before: 35.6 mph after: 31 mph 13%

23 Lessons Learned Neighborhood support is important BUT support of residents within 100 feet is vital Off-street residents typically do not support efforts of collector street mitigation Temporary installation phase: allows test of design and modifications allows residents to experience design saves time and money KEEP ELECTED OFFICIALS INFORMED
